Perfect body in white underwearAre you longing to look stunning in your two-piece? Do you need to get rid of just a few more pounds to fit into that pair of jeans you’ve hung up in your room for inspiration? Or, is there just a small layer of fat covering up those toned abs or thighs you’ve been working so hard on at the gym? If so, liposuction might be just what you need.

In fact, liposuction is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures performed every year to help men and women get the silhouette they want. Keep reading to learn more about how liposuction can be used to improve your silhouette.

Liposuction Can Improve Your Waistline

Liposuction is the perfect solution to trimming down those last few inches so that you can get into those skinny jeans and fitted tops. However, patients should understand that liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, but it will remove some pounds of excess fat per session. At Capital Center for Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Retana recommends that their patients be at or near their ideal weight before having liposuction performed.

Liposuction Can Provide Muscle Definition

If you’ve been giving it your all at the gym trying to tone your body and haven’t seen any increased definition in your muscles, liposuction can help. We can treat your abdomen, thighs, and hips to help you get the silhouette you’ve been working to achieve. When men and women choose to have liposuction performed, the fat cells that are removed will be gone for good and will not grow back. How relieving!

Will Liposuction Help Me?

Dr. Retana perform liposuction by inserting a cannula into a small incision made near the patient’s problem area to remove unwanted fat. They he sculpts the remaining tissue in a way that provides men and women with smooth, natural-looking results.

For patients who want to get rid of those last few inches of fat, just wanting to have liposuction performed doesn’t automatically mean it is the best procedure for your specific needs. To be considered a candidate for liposuction, Dr. Retana at Capital Center for Cosmetic Surgery will carefully screen you during your initial consultation by:

  • Reviewing your general health
  • Determining which areas you would want to discuss
  • Going over his before and after pictures with you
  • Discussing the procedure in details and what to expect during and after surgery
  • Making sure that all of your questions are answered

Liposuction is designed to provide contouring to specific areas of the body. If Dr. Retana determines that your skin is too lax, he may not recommend liposuction, but instead may recommend other cosmetic surgeries to better suit your needs.
